Comment by Person on Nice to See You - Chapter 18

Seeing this fandoms not only reactions to this chapter, but also their ideal expectations for this webtoons future (little to no angst/ no cheating...etc) made me genuinely understand why the best BL's have the most toxic relationships, because clearly bad writers can only appease green flag fans. (Which doesn't apply to this author I hope, the writing thus far has been phenomenal.)
A lot of you don't notice that when you apply all these ideologies and hopes onto this story, you are setting it up for failure and contradict the MC's struggles and personalities a lot, especially since this story is leading up to a lot of your protests: 1. The plot, What do you think this plot is going to lead up to and keep you intrigued by?  The character personalities and struggles and how their differing personalities are going to cause conflict, when you insist on everything being sunshine from the beginning, you are just creating another green flag webtoon that fades into the background because it was too afraid to make its characters human. 2. Ideum, Ideum is explored as someone who is centred around insecurity and lack of social understanding, a lot of readers fail to comprehend that misunderstanding, lack of communication, and 'cheating (despite them not being in a relationship which I will get into later) are things that make these characters human, and what make us want to continue, asking for a display of maturity when fir maturity to exist, there first needs to be growth, which all the things we want for this relationship, both sides have not seen growth in, which leads me to my 3rd point. 3. Jaeyi, He is literally described as promiscuous, unable to connect with past lovers, and incredibly attractive, all things that cause Ideums lack of thus qualities to shine through, and make him feel smaller, and also make it harder for Jaeyi to see past surface level, because he doesn't look too deep inside himself, he has too much vanity to worry about loss, or to think about how if he doesn't act to keep ideum close, they wont last, Fuck buddies aren't forever, but he is used to being the one lost, not to be the one to lose, which is why when he inevitably reaches his jealousy arc, we are most likely to see a side of him he hasn't even seen in himself. (And I don't think Ideum is to blame since he can't see himself as loveable to a parent, let alone desirable) 4. Cheating, they aren't in a relationship, this is a huge part of the conflict, when Jaeyi refuses to fight for Ideum because of his vanity, how can we expect Ideum not to explore (not cheating) when he literally has only 4% experience and exploring and living normal human life outside of Jaeyi is important to him, this character is written to be more than someones uke boyfriend, he is written to be a person. 5. My final point is, character development, how can you have two very flawed and well written characters and not see past their relationship, I notice quite a pattern when reading BL's, the best written ones are the ones that have the worst relationships, and it's because expectations like those I've mentioned and fans like the ones reading a lot of green flag webtoons create restraints for authors only a bad writer can match to a point were I notice that I can't finish a lot of stuff that carry healthy relationships because the author is too focused on giving the perfect, mature relationship that sorts itself out way too fast and character development advances before you can say "damn, that was a tough breakup!"
And before someone mentions a really well written green flag webtoon, the exact problem is that those are the exceptions, the ones that we praise for not having rpe or abuse and just being a sweet relationship that inspires you to keep reading.
This is a really good story, and it's advancements will make a really good story for these characters, despite being a bit predictable.
I personally enjoy angst and character development stories, maybe switch webtoons (and check how media literate you are?)
